September 22, 1869: Richard Wagner’s classic opera: Das Rheingold, premiered in Munich. It’s a comparatively short opera, with continuous music and no interludes or breaks. Mr. Wagner was Hitler's favorite composer. Apparently, Putin admires Wagner too if his paramilitary mercenary outfit Wagner Group comes to mind.

September 22, 1888: The 1st issue of National Geographic Magazine was published. It’s the official magazine of the National Geographic Society.


The National Geographic Magazine, 1888: Vol 1 Issue 1


George F. Kennan
Feb 22, 1946: The "Long Telegram", proposing how the United States should deal with the Soviet Union, arrives from the US embassy in Moscow.

The "X Article" is an article, formally titled "The Sources of Soviet Conduct", written by George F. Kennan and published under the pseudonym "X" in the July 1947 issue of Foreign Affairs magazine. It widely introduced the term "containment" and advocated for its strategic use against the Soviet Union. It expanded on ideas expressed by Kennan in a confidential February 1946 telegram, formally identified by Kennan's State Department number, "511", but informally dubbed the "long telegram" for its size.


September 22, 1964: The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law and Enforcement) was broadcast for the 1st time on NBC-TV. It follows 2 secret agents, played by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum, who work for the spy agency, UNCLE. There were 4 seasons and 105 episodes until 15 January 1968.


Very early on, Ian Fleming assisted in the creation of the series. The show was originally to have been called "Solo", but in the year it was due to come out, "Goldfinger" (1964) was released with a villain called "Solo".

The meaning of the acronym T.H.R.U.S.H. was never spelled out in the series, though a meaning was created for one of the U.N.C.L.E. novels published at the time ("Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity").

The end credits for every episode included "We wish to thank the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement without whose assistance this program would not be possible."

This led many people at the time to believe that the statement referred to a legitimate agency. Thousands applied to the United Nations, the US government and agencies in various other countries to become agents. Ha. No doubt this gave a certain alphabet agency psychological ideas to pursue.


September 22, 1975: US President Gerald Ford survived a 2nd assassination attempt, this time by Sara Jane Moore in San Francisco. She fired a single shot at Ford with a .38 caliber revolver near the St. Francis Hotel, but missed. She was sentenced to life imprisonment. She was paroled from prison on December 31, 2007, after serving 32 years. Born February 15, 1930 in Charleston, West Virginia. Squeaky Fromme was sent to prison in West Virginia, later escaped, captured and sent to prison in Texas with an added 15 years. West Virginia, home to lone nut cases, spooks to paranormal to former Strangelove elite class with an unused Nazi bunker; currently up for auction. I'm sure there is some good people in WV, but damn the strangest folks in those parts.



First assassination attempt on president Ford was only 17 days earlier by Lynette Alice "Squeaky" Fromme on Sept 5th. After serving 33 years she was released on parole from the Federal Medical Center, Carswell, Texas on August 14, 2009, and she moved to a small rural town of Marcy, New York where she and her boyfriend Robert Valdner who is also a Manson-obsessed ex-con who killed his brother-in-law and is now working at a nearby correctional facility. Ha, can't make that sh!t up! They live in a house which is decorated with skulls. Talk about a spooky house for Halloween. Wonder if she's ever had trick or treaters stop by. Marcy, NY is home to a mega huge psychiatric prison for the notorious criminally insane.


THE NUDE BOMB (1980)


Maxwell Smart is recalled to duty to help fight a villain who threatens to detonate a weapon that destroys clothing. LOL!

Sept 22, 1987: a Navy F-14 shot down a USAF RF-4C during a war game. The RF-4C Phantom, with the callsign "Vodka 51" was conducting a simulated attack on USS Saratoga. The Tomcat crew asked for confirmation of their weapons status from strike control. The response, “red and free,” was given. The F-14 pilot became confused and launched a live sidewinder. The RF-4C crew ejected and were recovered, alive. The F-14 pilot, Lt. Timothy Dorsey, a then 25-year-old pilot managed to keep his wings, but never flew for the Navy again.


Here's the bizarre story with photos & vids. Be sure to read to the end, it's short.

That’s right Ice Man. Weapons "red and free."




Bob Woodward & Steve Bannon both finished out their US Navy service working as hatchet men in the Chief of Naval Operations Program Planning Office (OP-090) at the Pentagon before they moved into their respective (ostensibly civilian) careers influencing the public.


Woodward served aboard the command ship USS Wright (CVL-49), and was one of two officers assigned to move or handle nuclear launch codes.

While in the Navy before he left for a job as a humble newspaperman, this is some of what the "powerful integrating directorate" with special walk-in privileges for the senior Admiral in the Navy was up to...


After Bob Woodward left, a 1980s sailor named Steve Bannon joined OP-090 serving under a CNO who’d once run that same office around the time Woodward was still there. During the early 1980’s, USNavy created the “Perception Management Office” details of which are apparently still highly classified.

Steve Bannon is currently a guest at the Federal Correctional Country Club in Danbury, Connecticut. A popular hang-out with Yale law students.

The blue glow is caused by Cherenkov radiation which is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. The phenomenon is named after Soviet physicist Pavel Cherenkov.


TRIGA is a swimming pool reactor that can be installed without a containment building. TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics) is a class of nuclear research reactors designed and manufactured by General Atomics. The design team for TRIGA, which included Edward Teller, was led by the physicist Freeman Dyson.


During the early to mid-20th century, cats played an important role on naval ships as skilled rodent catchers. Sailors realized that having cats aboard helped control the population of rats and mice, which were notorious for damaging supplies and spreading diseases. These ship cats became valued members of the crew and were even given passports to acknowledge their contribution and ensure their safety during international travels.


The passports for ship cats were a unique and lighthearted tradition. While they didn't serve any legal or official purpose, they were created to recognize the cats' role and provide a form of identification. The passports typically consisted of a small booklet with pages that included the cat's name, description, and an area for their paw print.
